Spencer-Churchill v Faggionato Fine Arts Ltd and Others: ChD 7 Aug 2012

The claimant sought an interim injunction to restrain the defendant sales agents from selling a work of art. He had placed the painting for sale with them but with, he said, specific restrictions on a sale to certain individuals. A sale was made, but the claimed purchaser was said to be a disguise of the persons against whom a sale was restricted, and the claimant said that the defendants had taken a secret commission.
Held: An arguable case was presented, and the injunction granted.
